Facile Two-Step Size-Controlled Synthesis of Gold Nanoparticles Functionalized with Triethylamine-Cyclodextrins

A two-step, size-controlled method is described for synthesizing uniform, quasi-spherical, and monodisperse gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with diameters ranging from 15 to 22 nm, using a combination of triethylamine (TEA) and cyclodextrins (α, β, and γCD). The first step of sonication was conducted in a modified ultrasoni...
